Lol. Were you watching the game? We weren’t going to get 3 possessions with the

ball. All the analytics would tell you that going for 2 in that spot was the best decision.

I think you don’t go for two until you have to

We had to.

Explain.

Because math. We get the two and it’s a two score game. Now it’s three.

But don't we now have to actually go for 2 later?

No. We could have tied with three TDs and two-point conversions.

9/17/22 4:34pm

No. A 2 point there would have put us down 16. We could score 2 TD with 2…

I understand that. All I'm saying is that by missing the 2 point conversion you

I'm not even arguing it was the wrong call. I initially responded to the

Quick math question. What is 24 divided by 8?

9/17/22 5:10pm

I wonder what odds are better there. 2TDs and 3 2 point conversions…

2 possessions is less than 3.

Going for two makes it a two-touchdown game.

That's now

9/17/22 4:26pm

8x3=24

9/17/22 4:26pm

We had to. A conversion makes it a two-score game.

Coop

You make it automatically a 3 score game without getting two there.

Tygger

9/17/22 4:26pm

There is a ton of time left though. Now we force ourselves to go for two later.

Kicking a PAT there makes zero sense

rocklincoug

9/17/22 4:26pm

Would've made it a two score game. You go for 2 there in the 4th quarter every

Manti

9/17/22 4:26pm

Right there you have to. Would make it a 2 possession game

9/17/22 4:26pm

We had to. 3×8=24.

Pollster

9/17/22 4:27pm

Uh, that 2 point conversion makes it a two possession game.

Ozymandias

9/17/22 4:27pm

That would have made it a two score game. It’s 3 scored if you go for one or if

On the bright side, there are mathematicians who actually game theory this.

Is there a big difference between 17 or 18? 16 or 17 is a huge difference.
